With experience, is Ryanair really that bad?

I've read with horror the conditions faced by Ryanair new-starts, particularly the pay-less months and refusal to award leave, but most importantly the cost of the initial 6 months.
However, looking at the other end of the spectrum, once command is achieved, and thousands of hours with the company logged, is it really that bad?
Granted its a rough road to that position, but the pay at that level seems very fair and obviously, no overnights. At least compared to short-haul skippers on other lines, does the initial struggle pay off?
